Thanks for everyone's replies. Long story short, there was no

infection at all - the dizziness got worse and he was basically in bed

for 6 days. Another misdiagnosis, another bottle of antibiotics.

My girlfriend had been using ear candles on her hubby, whenever his

ears were bugging him. She loaned me a few and after about three of

them he started to perk up - said the pressure had been somewhat

relieved and he wasn't as dizzy. After the fourth ear candle, we did

hydrogen peroxide therapy (ala earthclinic.com), whereby I used a

dropper and completely filled his ear with it, let it sit and fizz,

then he turned his head and let it drain out. We did that probably

four times in one sitting and again the next day. Each time the ear

fizzed like pop rocks.

The ear candles and peroxide therapy released an amazing amount of ear

wax. Neither of us could believe it.

Later that evening, after the second day of ear candling, his dad came

over and told me the story of when he was 25 and had ... the exact

same thing happen to him on a scuba trip in Mexico. After a week of

misery and not knowing what was happening, his friends forced him to a

doctor, who then flushed his ears. He has since needed to flush his

own ears every three months or so to keep the buildup in check.

So, there you have it. No antibiotics or MMS needed for this. Trial,

error and a good story. Happy Jesus!
